"adding articles" is almost always special for every website. And it is very involved, the best thing I could recomend would to read Kevin Yank's article about building a databse driven site on webmasterbase.com. I read the article three weeks ago, and it opened my eyes, since then I have been devouring anything I can find on PHP, and php.net has gained my continual use. If you read that all the way through, you will not have much problems getting a PHP/MySQL content management system up and runing.

Blamestorming: Sitting around in a group discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed and who was responsible.

I give that link out to at least 3 people a day (it's my first recommended stop for anyone who wants to learn PHP) - any chance you could register it it's own domain (www.kevinsphptutorial.com or something) as I'm fed up of trying to remember the number...

Hopefully now that we've done away with the query strings the URL is easier to type. We're working on some ideas for making it easier to link back to SitePoint articles from the forums; just give us time to sort out the details!

Would something like http://articles.sitepoint.com/228 be out of the question? Of course that relies on the articles for all the different sitepoint sites having unique IDs (I'm not sure if this is the case).

I don't mean that example as a permanent URL - just something that redirects instantly to the article in question.

That is indeed the case... I'll point this thread out to the right people and we'll discuss it offline.
